## API

 | 
						|
### isPathInside(childPath, parentPath)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Note that relative paths are resolved against `process.cwd()` to make them absolute.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Important:** This package is meant for use with path manipulation. It does not check if the paths exist nor does it resolve symlinks. You should not use this as a security mechanism to guard against access to certain places on the file system.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### childPath
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `string`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The path that should be inside `parentPath`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### parentPath
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Type: `string`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The path that should contain `childPath`.
